Church ORGANIZED.

An ecclesiastical council, called by
some resident Christians, met at Jetfer-
sOnville, in the town of Cambridge, Feb.
16, to advise in the organization of a
Congregational church. There is a
Union house Of worship in the village,
built many years ago, in which for years
public worship has been sustained. The
CongregatiOnalists have occupied the
house three Sabbaths out of four. Rev.
Edwin Wheelock, who for nearly gen
Grafton has been, with the exception of
a short interval, the pastor of the Con-
gregational church of Cambridge, has
preached here Sunday afternoons. A
Sunday-school has been efficiently SuS-
tanned; also weekly prayer-meeting
Ii appeared before the council that there
was a small Episcopal church in the
place, but it held services only once in
four weeks, and there was little prOba-
bility that it would draw the Christian
people in the community to itself and
add them to its membership, and so
meet the spiritual needs of the cOmmu-
nifty. As Congregational services, with
a Sunday-schOOl and experimenting
have been sustained for many years,
there has been practically a COngrega-
tiOnal church here, with the exception
of formal organization, 1t has been
Oh VI IIlO N6lLAOI
church, several of the members of that
church residing and regularly attending
meetings with their families here rather
than at Cambridge, that 1t would be bet
ter, on the whole, that a church should
be organized which should gather to
itself the scattered Christians living in
the vicinity into one body. Twenty two
persons offered themselves for member
ship, eleven of whom brought letters
from the Cambridge church, which was
represented on the council by it's pastor
and delegate. Seven others came from
other Congregational, from Presbyte-
RAN, Free Baptist and Methodist
churches. Four wished to join by con-
fesslon. The case appeared to the cOun-
Gil so clear that it unanimously voted to
approve of and assist in the organiza-
ton of church. Several of those COM
posing the new body are heads of fami-
lies and persons of such intelligence,
business habits and financial ability as
to give reasonable assurance that the
new church will maintain public wor-
ship. 1t is possible that they will unite
with some neighbOring church in Shar-
ing the services of the same pastor. The
public services were as follows InvOca-
ton by Rev. A. A. Smith moderator,
reading of scripture by Rev. Edwin
WheelOck, consecrating prayer by Rev.
A. A. Smith, fellowship of the churches
by Rev. w. A. Bushee, address to the
church by Rev. E. j. Ward, closing
prayer by Rev. Edwin Wheelock. The
services were all of reasonable length,
and of interest. The
new church takes the name of the
Second church of Cambridge. 1t has
the cordial good will of the old church
and of all the neigboring churches. Let
all the churches of the state pray for
this their youngest sister in the Lord

A special dispatch from Topeka,
Kan, Feb. 16, says: Boston Corbett,
the slayer of John Wilkes Booth, Gre
ated a sensation in the House Of Rep
resentatives yesterday. At the COM
mencement of the session of the Leg
islature Corbett was appointed assist
ant door-keeper. Yesterday he strap
ped on two revolvers and took with
him box of cartridges. Then with
a drawn weapon he drove negro at
tendant from the Representatives
Hall. Sergeant-at-arms Norton at
tempted to expostulate with him,
when Corbett cooked one of his re-
volvers, and pointing it directly at
the officer told him to travel. Cor
bett then searched for Speaker Smith,
and on meeting a member who some
what resembled him, was about to fire
when the member threw up his hands
and said he was not the Speaker. The
member was then permitted to move
on. Corbett then took possession OF
the Speakers gallery, and walking in
front of the doors, held it during the
entire morning session, refusing to al
low any one to come near him. The
city policemen were called, but they
would not venture into the dark cor
ridor, and the slayer of Booth held
possession. At II o'clock he sent
word down to the House to adjourn
or he would come down and adjourn
it himself. The House adjourned.
Corbett was afterward captured in the
lower corridor, disarmed and taken to
the police station, where he is now
confined. He will probably be ad-
judged insane and confined in an asy-
lum.

The opening article in HARPER's con-
tinues the important series of papers on
the great institutions of New York City
with careful study of the ''New York
Police Department." by DR.. Richard
Wheatley. He describes the organiza-
ton of the force, with its ranks and
grades, and the duties of each member,
explicitly nant enough to Justify the state
dermen, that "the police department has
reached standard of efficiency hitherto
unattained, and superior to that of any
force in the world" The account of the
detective bureau is particularly interest
ing, and the perfection of its system can
be judged from the fact that in Wall
Street, the richest hunting ground for
skillful thieving, from the 18th of March,
1880, until to-day, not penny has been
lost through a professional thief. The
article is remarkably we'll illustrated by

Albert r. Noyes.

The people Of our county hav'
learned with deep sorrow of the deatl
of Albert L. Noyes, at Pasadena
California, Feb. 18th. Few men were
better and more favorably known IL
the business and political circles o
northern Vermont. In banking, Il
which he devoted more than quartel
of a century of his life, he held a fore
most place. In the chosen field O
his life-work he had no superior
Possessed of a judgement in discrlml
mating and correctly measuring men
with reference to their financial ablll-
ties eminently remarkable, he became
almost at the beginning of his bank
ing career the cashier and trusted eX-
ecutive officer of the only bank in oul
county. His long and faithful service
in this highly responsible capacity is
characterized throughout with perfect
integrity and an ability that carried
his bank almost entirely safe and I'M
injured from losses during all these
wears. His name had become a syn
onvm in business transactions for hon.
esty, and to his honest efforts and
painstaking attention to all the duties
of the banking business may be at
tributed in great measure the good
name of the institution which he sue
cessfully managed.
Although a member of the political
minority in his State, his influence was
always deservedly important, and his
presence will be much missed in the
councils of his party. He never sought
office for himself. His delight was in
the prosperity of his bank. He made
its success his life-work, and to his
untiring and assiduous attention to its
interests may be attributed his de-
cease in the prime of manhood.
While the County in all its business
interests will find his loss irreparable,
his own town and village will feel still
more deeply the absence of his voice
in all their councils, and his contribu-
lions in all their benefactions. He
was liberal and public-spirited-giv-
ing freely to every charitable, benevo-
lent and religious object in which his
native town or village was interested.
More than all else will he be missed
from his own immediate circle of
friends and from that freside where
he was the kind husband, the fond and
indulgent father.
He left home the 21st of last month
for a sojourn in southern California,
hoping that he might thereby obtain
relief from the asthma, with which he
had been afflicted for some years. His
wife, although in feeble health, ac-
companied him. From the first the
Journey seemed to be more than he
could bear. He had miscalculated his
and it was with difficulty that
he reached his destination. In little
less than four weeks from his depart
ure the sad tidings come back that he
is dead. His grief-stricken wife and
only child, a son of fifteen years, have
.he hearty sympathy of a wide circle
Of friends. Words of tenderness, Of
1eep respect and of sincere grief, are
alone heard. He has gone and his
leath has caused a vacancy which it
will be difficult to fill.

Report of the Fish Commissioners

The biennial report of the fish COM
missioners of Vermont has been is
sued. 1t states that since the last
report there have been planted in the
State 10000 land-locked salmon,
232 Penobscot salmon, 10000 COM
mon trout, 100000 California trout,
and 40, 900 Lake Superior trout. The
report regards Lake Champlain as the
finest sheet of water in New England,
containing the greatest abundance of
fish, among which are bass, pike,
pickerel, WaIl-eyed pike, muscalonge,
pouts, sturgeon, white-ish, mullet,
suckers and Superior lake shad. Oc-
casional salmon are also caught. Cap
italists from Boston and New York
are buying islands, building summer
residences and filling the hotels, as a
legitimate result of the good fishing
which abounds throughout the State.
OF the endeayors made by Vermont
and New Hampshire to restore salmon
to their streams the report says:
"The first attempt made to restock
any of the rivers was in 1872, when
several thousand salmon fry were put
into the Andvoscoggin river. Salmon
eggs at that time had to be obtained
in New Brunswick at an expense of
S25 in gold per 1000. The expert
ment of restocking the rivers of the
State was begun. Mr.. Atkins got
some Penobscot salmon and stocked
a small hatchery at Orland. United
States Commissioner Baird then be-
came interested in the experiment,
and large Matching house was built.
Now, each year from 100000 to
to 100000 eggs are taken there
from Penobscot salmon and Matched
for distribution The commissioners
regard the outlook as most promising,
and believe that with abundant stock
of the waters and protection as now
given, continued, the time is not far
distant when Vermont, like Maine and
some other States, will attract anglers
from all parts of the country. The
experimental planting of the first
10000 young trout at Lunenburgh
three years ago has produced the best
results, and many strings of trout
from one-half pound upwards, have
shown such stocking desirable and
exceedingly profitable.

A FEW PLAIN WORDs.-The Senate
has voted 81 100000 as beginning in
the work of national self-protection.
The Senate is Republican and we al
ready see signs of a disposition in the
House to treat this measure as a Repub-
lican measure and to oppose and defeat
it accordingly.
1t is not a Republican measure. 1t is
a national measure, in which partisan
ship has no share, and which should re-
ceive the hearty approval of every
American patriot.
The people have made up their minds
that the coasts and harborS of our coun-
try should no longer be left defenceless.
Bad will it be for the Democrat or
Democrats in the House of Representa-
tives who for political reasons may
become responsible for the defeat of any
honest measure of national seIf-detence.

NOTES..

The present copper coinage of the
United States to S5,000,00O. For
three years past no cents have been
coined, owing to the over-supply, but
lately the minis have resumed, owing
to an increased demand. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that many re-
tail dealers mark goods down to frac-
tional prices, necessitating the use of
cents for making change. This strong
ly illustrates the Importance attained
in the aggregate by transactions in
significant in themselves.
At meeting of a Colorado mines
shareholders held in Indiana the other
day, one of the Directors presented
bill of expenses which included $50
for wine, 500 for cigars and SIS for
opera tickets, these expenses having
been contracted in Chicago while he
was having a map of the mine en-
graved. There was a hot protest
when the bill was presented, and the
Director calmly tore it into small
bits and replied: ~ had supposed
this mine was to be run for the bene-
fit of the board. If it is to be run in
the interest Of shareholders that set
ties me and here's my resignation"
1t requires herculean credulity to
believe the following from the Neva-
da City Herald: 'Nevada City can
boast of a real Hercules. A few eve
nings ago gentleman who lives some
distance from town rode in on horse
back to get his mail. AS he was
mounting his horse in front of a store
on Broad Street the saddle turned
and the gentleman fell to the ground
on his back, and the bystanders were
Mortified to see that his foot was held
fast in the stirrup. The frightened
horse made one jump, but before he
could make another big-fsted Cor
nish miner had seized him by the tail
and held him by main force till the
the rider was rescued from his peril

The circular of Gen. Fairchild,
commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic, has called forth numer-
GUS indignant protests from Grand
Army Posts at the veto of the De-
pendent Pension Bill, and Congress
men are receiving letters from Grand
Army men all over the country, urg-
ing them to pass the bill over the veto.
Matson, Chairman of the Committee
ON Invalid Pensions, has defined his
position. He thinks the bill should
be passed over the veto. He says
the vote was secured through the in
fuence of the New York Democratic
press, and the committee in reporting
the bill supposed they were acting in
accordance with the wishes of the
President, as expressed in his mes
sage.
